Path at my folk's home in winter.

I'm wondering if anyone has read the book One Move Too Many by Thomas Hochholzer and Volker Schoeffl? I can remember reading a Climbing or Rock and Ice review a few years ago that said it was decent, but may have translation errors. I guess I am asking if anyone in the community thinks it is worth buying because it is an expensive book in my opinion (the cheapest I've found is Chessler for $44). Any insight would be appreciated.

The book is pretty good, it has some worthwhile ideas about stretches for the arms and especially the hands/fingers. I felt like it's strength was in describing the 'why' of overuse injuries in climbing but that it was a little lacking on the what to do about the injury.

So w/ some creativity in tweaking your training/climbing it's probably more useful as a means of info to prevent some injuries but not the best place to look for rehabilitating existing injuries.

If you're still interested you might find a better deal using the book search engine Best Book Deal
Hope that helps,

It has a lot of great pictures of horrific climbing injuries such as detached fingers etc. Whereas most climbing books and mags make you want to go climbing right away, this one tends to make you think that right here on the couch is not such a bad place to be after all.

It's a great book but having looked through it many times I'm not sure you are going to find 44$ worth of information you can't find elsewhere on the internet. If you are a climbing book collector, I'm sure its a must have.

It is sad that Petzl doesnt push it more... its very useful. Yes, I'm biased.

Found these pics of Sometime Direct, from April 09, photo Travis Melin.

It's interesting and the photos/diagrams are top notch. A good one to have on the shelf.
